We need to talk about this, but we don’t have all of the photos. You need to GO HERE and HERE to see the new Beyonce pics. For the first time since giving birth (cough), Beyonce stepped out for a public appearance. She was supporting her husband’s charitable work – Jay-Z and Bey were at Carnegie Hall for the first of two shows that Jay performed for to benefit the United Way of New York City and The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation. Bey wore red Alice Temperley and she looked… interesting. Little Blue Ivy was born just a few days short of a month ago, and Bey already has her figure back, of course. We can argue about whether her hips are bigger or whether she’s always had those hips, but can we all agree that Beyonce’s “post-pregnancy weight loss” has been spectacular? I mean… really? Here’s one photo from her outing:

During the Carnegie Hall show, Jay dedicated a version of “Glory” to Blue Ivy, telling the audience, “Put a hand in the air for Blue!” After the Carnegie Hall show, Bey and Jay went to his 40/40 club, where they partied for hours. Jay was also at the club for the Super Bowl too, although Bey didn’t join him. Page Six reports that Jay “was spotted in a main floor booth, in plain view of the hundreds who packed the luxe sports bar’s every cranny. Yankees hurler CC Sabathia and the Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony appeared from a private viewing room upstairs to join Jay at his table. After the Giants prevailed, the crowd sang ‘Empire State of Mind’ in celebration.”

I don’t believe she was ever pregnant, too. Just unbelievable.
And yes, she is a bit heavier: it was smart of her to understand that if she wanted to look like she gave birth a freaking month ago she had to gain a BIT of weight. Also, that push up bra looks painful.
I would not have anything to say about this if she only had owned their using a surrogate.

I agree. This is not quite her pre-pregnancy shape. Her waist and hips are visibly wider and girl is definitely rocking the Spanx. I don’t like her much–it’s like she never goes away long enough…kinda like the human equivalent of herpes–but the surrogate rumors need to die already.

Totally Agree! Beyonce appears alot bigger than she was and no doubt she is ‘spanxin’ it up! These surrogate rumors are not even entertaining anymore…they’re pathetic! Not everyone is meant to have a Jessica Simpson pregnancy.

Agreed. I enjoy the conspiracy theories, but she definitely looks heavier than normal here. Even in her calves you can see they’re thicker than pre-pregnancy. And her breasts look larger as though she’s breast-feeding. If anything, she looks slightly bigger to me than she did throughout her pregnancy even, just without the “belly”. Of course there are other explanations for the conspiracy theorists, but she doesn’t look like she’s completely bounced back yet. She does look good though.

Oh, I still have no major opinion on whether or not she was pregnant. I see the merit to the conspiracy – she was out partying up until right before she delivered and barely ever looked actually pregnant, not to mention the pillow folding incident. But since I can’t really know for sure, I refrain from making a concrete judgment. That being said, there was a blind item a while ago about a not-so-pregnant star who was going to take prednisone to fake weight-gain since people weren’t buying her “pregnancy” and that could easily explain the weight gain. Plus, it’s perfectly possible that even if she used a surrogate, she has taken hormones to be able to breast feed.

I don’t know the answer. Just pointing out that she still looks slightly heavier than she did pre-pregnancy.

There is no excuse for the conspiracy theories, they are all absurd. First of all, you REALLY think if she was faking it she would wear a folded over pillow? Really? What that video showed was a dress that was fitted over her belly rising up when she sat down. It deflated a tiny bit when it went over her ribcage area (your uterus isn’t in your ribs). Another commentor was saying she isn’t pregnant because of how she got into a car? Are you that narrow minded that you think ALL pregnant women move the same way?

I just think the conspiracy theories show how far gone our society has become. Even the craziest rumors with NOTHING factual to back them up will get millions of believers. Pretty sad.

Spanx or not, the one universal norm for postnatal weight/shape is that your uterus is still contracting. Seriously, when you leave the hospital after giving birth, you still look 5 months’ pregnant, because your uterus has grown to roughly 1,000 times its usual size over the course of the pregnancy.

It generally takes about six weeks for the uterus to contract to its pre-preggo size. I gave birth 12 weeks ago, and I am only now fitting into my pre-pregnancy clothes (though, God, how I miss the stretchy waistbands on my maternity pants).

While I’m conflicted as to whether or not she actually gave birth, I know that my hips and boobs are way bigger now (in part because I’m nursing) than they were 12 months ago when I was merely another Mardi Gras enjoying NOLA girl. She’s got some padded hips there, that’s for damned sure.

Yeah, Tiffany, WTH is wrong with you?? Of course every pregnant woman becomes a Jessica Simpson, no matter that their pre-pregnancy shape might have been completely different? No matter that not every pregnant woman finds pregnancy to be a time of diet carte blanche? And of course she’s taking prednisone to chunk herself up, somehow remaining thin in the face even though pred normally chunks the face up most! Duh!!

I don’t know of any pregnant woman, no matter how in shape; no matter “how they carry”; who could move like this in their last days of pregnancy. A woman is too bulky and relaxin has loosened up your joints….

Tapioca: I agree with you. However, the speculations regarding surrogacy are just speculations until something else is proven. My point was, and is, that these new parents should be allowed to enjoy this time, without the extra stress.

Agree – I love a good scandal/cover-up/conspiracy theory – but the picture I just saw on People it is very obvious she is breastfeeding and has given birth recently. Her boobs look huge and she has that fat figure look that many of us have after the delivery, meaning her hips have still not gone down.

Agreed. These look like breast feeding boobs of Salma Hayek proportions. Beyonce was never this curvy (I think she looks great!).

My theory – if it was all fake someone would speak out. There would be too many people who could blab the story considering the hospital birth. And while people may argue that they could pay most people off – surely some media out there would be willing to pay more to someone with proof it was all fake.

Sorry, those do not look like nursing boobs to me. And I’ve been there. Whatever. Maybe she’s bottlefeeding and they’ve already shrunk. Maybe she’s from the “boobs are for the cameras, not the baby” crowd.

It isn’t just Beyonce’s hips looking the same it’s her waistline too that is unchanged. Most women I know who’ve given birth have a wider waist line even if they quickly manage to lose the baby weight. Whether she was the one who gave birth to baby Blue or not I can’t deny that she does indeed look great.

I couldn’t agree more! On another site they did a side by side of the above picture of her in the red dress and a picture of her still “pregnant” in December. She looks exactly the same! Beyonce always had an incredibly sexy curvy body. Gorgeous hips and sexy thick thighs. All she had to do was put on 10-15lbs to and voila she looks thicker and like she gave birth. I’m happy they have a new daughter, but so disgusted with the fact that they are frontin’. It’s not a shameful thing to adopt or have a surrogate./

I co-sign this. I have been in the hardcore she-wasn’t-pregnant camp, but her boobs are GIANT. Now I’m not quite as sure. I do think she is somehow massively deceitful, though, I just can’t claim to know what is going on. Her boobs are insanely large, though.

I noticed at the Daily Mail link that Alicia Keys is still carrying some baby weight. I am not criticizing Keys, just pointing out that real pregnant women with a curvy figure (Keys, Jessica Simpson, Salma Hayek, Mariah Carrey, etc.) tend to gain a substantial amount of weight during and after pregnancy. Keys actually has a thinner body type than Beyonce and her figure changed after pregnancy. I knew Beyonce was going to look fab her first appearance after “giving birth”.

Yeah, I had a feeling she’d look great, too, and there she is. She does look slightly heavier, but – those pregnancy pics were weird, and I think it’s REALLY weird we never saw any pics of her in the hospital room, no candids. I mean, they put the baby on a song track, but don’t release a pic?

Wow! Your comment is ignorant and offensive. It takes the uterus 4-6 weeks to return to pre-pregnancy size, so bouncing back in days is unlikely. You should spend less time trolling on the Internet and more time learning. Perhaps you could start with a physiology book, then you could brush up on grammar. Start with the chapter on homonyms.

You can lose the weight itself quickly, in a matter of days or weeks, if you didn’t put on much to begin with. But any woman who claims to have gotten a flat stomach within days or weeks of giving birth is just full of it – it takes months for all the stretched-out skin and muscles to return to normal, unless you get some help of a surgical variety . . .

@enny, yes. That’s exactly what I was trying to say. Even IF you lose all of the pregnancy weight before you leave the hospital, your uterus will still be larger for 4-6 weeks following delivery. When I left the hospital I looked about 3 months pregnant because of the swollen uterus and increased blood volume.

@MW, my feet “spread” and are now larger than usual. I also have a slight diastasis recti, so my waist isn’t quite the same either 😔

Don’t know whether she actually carried the baby or not, but getting your “shape” back quickly means nothing. Everyone knows these ladies get a C-section and a tummy tuck while the doctor is at it. I have a friend who had that. Granted she didn’t pack on the pounds either, but she walked out of the hospital a week or so later wearing her pre-pregnancy size 0 jeans. No joke.

Are you trying to tell me that you don’t appreciate the SWAROVSKI crytals detailing of the shoes?That ish takes hours of handwork.
At least be honest and tell me you loved the shoes that the chick is wearing behind Z.
That’s the definition of a mean shoe

I looked through the others pics on various sites and honestly, the one posted here is the most flattering. There are a couple of side shots where she looks much heavier, and her legs look much bigger as well.

Whatever, I really don’t care if she did or didn’t have that baby. But I agree with @Tapioca that they brought this pr mess on themselves… when you invite everyone into your pregnancy like an open house, you have to also know that you invited people to sneak through your closets and drawers.

why is her pregnancy being debated? she was photographed in a bikini while PREGNANT. I don’t understand. That theory is stupid and insulting. If you’re going to discuss gossip, talk about something that possibly has some sort of merit not just the globe level speculation.

Spandex, spandex, spandex! Maybe a corset or two, with her you never know. Her boobs look like mom boobs (and not fake bolt-ons), her hips are wider and she’s definitely not as slim as before.
I do not know what happened behind the scenes with that pregnancy but Beyoncé does not look slim and trim.

I don’t believe that she was ever pregnant. In the Daily Mail photos you can definately see she’s wearing a white push-up bra (the photo where she’s walking) and she’s known to wear cutlets as well.

I’m working on a theory here so bear with me. If she really padded for her pregnancy (which I believe she did) why wouldn’t her ”pre-pregnance” body be padded as well. She’s dim but I think someone would tell her that she couldn’t just take the pillow out and go out and party.

And the people who are saying that the ”conspiracy” theory stories are ridiculous… they aren’t if you look at all the evidence. I would link it but there’s just too much.

Ding Ding Ding! ITA! In those pics it looks like she padded her boobs out and up. If you look at the line of her breast and the padding/bra you can tell.

Never was pregnant, no woman has a flat stomach 3.5 weeks later and no woman flies into a huge SUV the day before giving birth. The pics of her now and the day before she gave birth look exactly the same. She didn’t even look 3rd trimester! I’ve gone over the medical stuff before, she is crazy to think we believe this crap.

Your ‘evidence’ is weak. You know that women who give birth get milk in their breasts, right? Well in order to prevent leakage, some women put leak guards in their bras. It might look like padding to you.

Oh good Lord. Yes, A nursing pad is very thin. Thinner than a slim pad. I nursed two kids for 4 years. Pretty sure I know what a nursing pad looks like, that and the 20 odd years in the medical field.
Nothing about this woman is real, take a listen to that Today show tape. Everything is manufactured on her, voice, image.

Suzie – That photo was taken September 6th and barely shows any bump. She was supposedly 5 and a half months pregnant by then. On September 23rd she came out with that video that said she was six months pregnant. I don’t know if you’ve seen any pregnant women but her becoming that large in two weeks is highly implausible.

Tiffany – That bra was not padded with a leak guard, you can clearly see that ít’s a push-up bra. As for my evidence. Here’s a timeline for you.

April 2011

Baby was concieved

May – 2011

Goes to the Met Gala and wears that incredibly tight dress with a corset.

June 2011

The Goodmorning America Summer Concerts. She sure did a lot of dancing while she was 3 months pregnant.

Before she got pregnant she was the thinnest she’s probs ever been, so that has been her shape at some point but not before her ‘pregnancy’. Still not convinced tbh even though thinking anything else but she was pregnant seems absurd.

This is an illusion dress: shirring creates the obvious illusion of curves, and it does look like she’s wearing a heavily padded bra. Thighs and hips look thick as always. Nuthin’ to see here, just the latest self-indulgent parade by the empress and her -ha!- new clothes.

I, too, wonder what the surrogate looks like now!

Also, Bouncy needs to give up her dream of being a white woman with blonde hair. Or a black woman with blonde hair, for that matter. The blonde is not, does not, and will never work on her. She’s not Heather Locklear! But, pretending she’s something she’s not is all she knows.

bump theories aside, Jay-Z really? You went to the superbowl even though you have a new Baby at home? You couldn’t watch the Game on your Huge tv w/ some friends your child and your wife!? What is Pizza Hut to good for you?

On a different note wonder how much of their own cash they contribute to these charities; they aren’t the King and Queen of anything but their own narcissistic self-contained world; take away the millions for endless self-promotion and you have surprisingly mediocre music churned out by two rather banal and uninteresting human beings.
Stephen Harper I listened to that Howard Stern clip beyond awful, toneless off-key screechy.
And this is from a so-called professional singer that has been doing this how many years? Anyone that thinks she’s the shit should listen to that.
No excuses,either, rock, soul, motown bands from the 60/70s sang live straight up and sounded way better than this screeching hag, and they often played stoned. She really is a joke.

Agreed. Also, last year Jay-Z made 63 million dollars. Do you know how much he donated to charity? His OWN charity. 6.000 dollars. 6.421 freaking dollars. What a disgusting human-being. Yes, it’s his money but Oprah has donated millions to her Angel Network. If you don’t want to foot the bill then don’t create a charity so you can have tax-write offs.

Thanks for the info Asli; stuff like that needs to be publicized. Tell me again why is he lionized in his own community and everywhere. Both are actually among the more disgusting members of the 1 % but their race and celebrity status make them untouchable by what remains of Occupy Wall Street, and lets face it, very few on the left will go after the greed and narcissism of a black rapper. Wonder how many of their businesses have Wall Street ties?

Yup! I also think he lost ALOT of followers after he tried to rip off Occupy Wall Street. He’s selfish, greedy and just needs to go away. We don’t need people like that. Him and his wife are some of the most money-hungry 1%’ers around. Beyonce even makes her broke back-up dancers pay for their own plane tickets and they were told that if they complained they’d be fired on the spot. And for the B’Day album the dancers were only paid 400 dollars per video and she made millions off of that. Disgusting.

They need to be called out more often. This is the first major backlash any of them are getting. Finally!

First of all,Jover i LUV U!!!
But since you seem to know a lot about music you know that every performer has a bad day , like when they’re sick for instance.
Maybe she had an OFF day like any normal human being.Since she’s a big money machine she cant say NO to a appearance that’s already been shedulded.
You know SONY is not going to allow that!
At least,she tried to sing live so gets a from me.

Are you crazy? Honestly! My husband tours and has to sing 4 hours a day 6 days a week, perfectly. Once in a great while there will be a minor mistake. She CAN’T sing! That isn’t a bad day. If you are a top money making performer, you should be able to carry a tune. No way a real singer would do that to a performance even if they couldn’t hear themselves properly. Absolute hogwash to accept vocalists that have no vocal talent.

Every woman’s pregnancy is different and not every woman gets as big as a house while pregnant. Beyonce looks great, I know a lot of women who a month later look like they were never pregnant then there are the others who carry the pregnancy weight around for the next few years and some never lose it.

you sound so ignorant. everybody was amazed when miranda kerr or heidi klum walked the runway after weeks of giving birth but when it’s King B it’s a whole different reaction. Get a life ppl at the end of the day she’s still going to be very very rich and you always going to be poor and miserable.

Geralda, the only ignorant one here is you. Calling everyone poor and unhappy says A LOT about your character. Some of the happiest people I know aren’t wealthy but they ARE rich In spirit, have wonderful families and love what they do for a living. If you believe money buys happiness, you’ll die miserable.

@Mort, *clapping*
Thanks, very happy here. Have no wish for that kind of money and the evil fakery that comes with it. I’ll take my happy, comfortable life any day.
At least my life is real.
I am neither poor, nor unhappy, nor ugly.
Many of us are turned off by the greed and materialism shown by these very wealthy people. Proves money does not buy happiness, compassion (Lenox Hill babies), humility or talent.

i am just gonna comment once on this whole conspiracy. Every woman is different, every pregnancy is different! I looked like a beached whale when i had my first son, and with my second son I had no swelling and I was tiny the whole time. Did nothing different with each one. She never had a big belly, but lots of women don’t!! Also, her boobs look huge now, so she might be breastfeeding/pumping-but she could still do that even if she had a surrogate. BUT I still think that she was pregnant. In both of my pregnancies I felt great, wore heels, and the day my water broke with my second son I was climbing up and down the slides at the park with my oldest-so getting into that car “ain’t no thang”. SHUT UP PEOPLE. I just wanna see BIC! Bring her to the Grammys girl!

I know there is a lot of Beyonce hate here, but you seriously can’t see the changes in her body? Her breasts are huge and so are her hips. Look at the photos in the links, not the misleading one that was posted above. I was on the fence about her pregnancy too, but those photos give me no doubt that she was pregnant. Can we move on now? People are being just as looney as they are with the Brad/Angelina/Jen thing.

the only reason these fake liars associate themselves with anything related to charity is to gain tax breaks and fool people.
this lacefront stunt is all related to that pathetic statue monument for beyonce and her self hating ego and ardemonce ventures which want donations from businesses and is **cough** charity related .

@OS, I don’t know why either, but it just gets me.
They showed Posh, Halle and loads of other thin celebs and they ALL looked pregnant.

From the time of the announcement to birth her stomach never grew.
If there is one thing I am sure of on this earth, and I don’t give a shit how you carry, you get bigger as your pregnancy goes on. You don’t stay the same, you don’t get smaller. There is a developing human fetus in there that gets larger every week. And the only way to gestate is to go OUT. You don’t carry a baby tucked up inside, the baby goes out as it grows. When B was quickly pregnant, she looked the same the day before she gave birth as she did at her announcement.
Then the shadiness at the hospital.
Whatever, every star, even the tiny ones looked heavily pregnant in the days before birth.
Example Posh snapped by hubby laying in the sun with belly out. That’s a baby in there. With B? Nope, and those first bikini shots she just looks like she ate food and has a prosthetic belly on as you can see the change in skin color. Look closer.

For a gossip site that is so hung-up on this fake pregnancy, why didn’t you pay for more pics of Bey?
Having seen them on another site, I can’t deny that she is a woman who gave birth. Her boobs are much bigger and her hips are wider. She is probably wearing multiple spanx and taking care of herself as only a wealthy woman can. She was in excellent shape before the pregnancy so it’s no wonder she would bounce back quicker than the average woman, especially one who spends all her time online supporting pregnancy conspiracy theories!

I can think of dozens of celebrity women who looked much much thinner after giving birth but no one batted an eyelash. I say she deserves the hate on for her and Jay-Z’s obnoxious takeover of Lenox Hill but the fake pregnancy B.S. so, so, so, so dumb.

Yes, she looks curvier, but she has that body type that can gain weight quickly once she stops dieting and exercising. I have seen other photos of her in past years where she is not preggo and her hips and thighs are thick as they look in these photos.

Thanks for that link. That ought to be your proof, people. She looks heavier in those pics than now! That is a body type that gets big during pregnancy. Sorry, but she would have been a gainer in the hips, legs and butt for SURE!

And I’d like to add that, as much as I love this site, the propogation of these pregnancy conspiracy rumors makes it lose some credibility for me. Celebitchy’s initial coverage of the pregnancy was “she’s pregnant, but pads her belly for effect at certain times.” Reasonable enough. But it’s now degenerated into an all out “bitch was never pregnant” mode sans an iota of proof.

Compare the April pics with those from the Carnegie appearance — there’s at least a 25-pound difference, and that’s after what everyone seems to think is a “dramatic” weight loss. My point is just that Beyonce looks like many other woman who were at a healthy weight pre-pregnancy (and gained the *recommended* 25-35 lbs during pregnancy) do a month after birth, with the help of some serious Spanx coverage.
